I found these three people, online, today.

I knew the first two, as parents of classmates at St. Dominic High School, in O'Fallon, Mo.  Marie Kiel was the mother of Mark Kiel, class of 1977.  John W. Hooker, Sr. was the father of Jim Hooker, class of 1977.

The third person is the father of Sharon Otis, who married our high school Priest, Fr. James V. Grimaud.  He taught religion at Roman Catholic, Archdiocese of St. Louis' St. Dominic High School, while I was a student there; and, he left after the 1977-1978 school year.  Sharon Otis's father's obituary shows that he was a member of the Methodist faith, and, there was a Masonic service for him, at the funeral home.

Mark, Jim, and I knew this Priest.  Mark married another classmate, Diane Schroer, who, also had classes and masses with Fr. Grimaud.  I found an address for the former Father Jim Grimaud, today, online:  4918 Country Club Drive, High Ridge, Mo.  63049.  He, also, lived in St. Louis, Mo. and Columbia, Mo.  He, is, now, 77 years old.

Mark and Dian(n)e Kiel moved to a place in Josephville, Mo. after they married, in the Catholic church, at St. Theodore's, in Flint Hill, Mo.  This is their address, I found online:  1020 Kiel Lane, Josephville, Mo.  63385.

Jim, who married Denise Tameler, lives in Warrenton, Mo., at this address, I found online:  23095 Buck Track Lane, Warrenton, Mo.  63383-7309.  Denise's father's obituary, dated October 8, 2017, is here:  http://pitmanfuneralhome.com/view.php?id=3480.   The obituary shows that her father was a member of the Lutheran faith.  Her mother's maiden name was "Keil".
